The Bamberg City Guides answer what every visitor wonders: which brewery tavern pours the beer worth the trip, where to order Schäufele, how to see the cathedral hill without the crowds and which beer cellar has the view over the towers. Each guide is a short, opinionated list with the reason to go, what to order or skip and one practical tip for every place, and it opens in your browser the moment you pay.

Three places from the guides
Spezial-Keller
Sternwartstraße 8, Stephansberg
A hillside beer garden with long tables under the trees and the finest view in town, over red roofs to the four cathedral towers. Smoked beer comes from the barrel, and a heated room keeps it open in winter. From the food guide.
Altes Rathaus
Obere Brücke 1, in the middle of the Regnitz
The old town hall sits on its own island between two bridges, its walls painted all over with 18th-century scenes. Walk to the east side to find the cherub whose leg pokes out in real stone. From the things to do guide.
Bing Cave
Streitberg, a short bus ride from Ebermannstadt
A slim dripstone cave you explore alone at your own speed in about half an hour. At a steady 9°C it is as good on a scorching day as on a wet one. From the day trips guide.
Plan your Bamberg days
Day one: start on the cathedral hill with the Old Court and the Rose garden, cross to the Altes Rathaus, look back at Little Venice from Am Leinritt, eat Schäufele at Klosterbräu and end the day at Spezial-Keller as the towers catch the evening light. Day two: take the regional train to the Basilica of the Fourteen Holy Helpers and climb the Staffelberg, or spend a summer afternoon at the Hainbadestelle. For a rainy or slow day, see the bird hall of the Naturkundemuseum, warm up at Bambados or soak in the Obermain Therme.
